    I could not imagine having to coach Westbrook.
    Appreciate his effort, but he would drive me to drink.

    Olidipo gets away from him and basically doubles his out put and becomes all star.

    PG13, not exactly bloosoming teamed up w/Russ.

    Think it is about time he either changes his game/attitude or he will be one lonely dude in OKC.

    When I first heard KD was going to GS, I thought he was a douche/pussy.
    Now, I get it. Playing with great plaers/coach/org and winning rings.

    Spurs are done just like that.. Pop better coach his ass off to make a dent in the playoffs this year and prove his worth..

    Coach up these players up big time to make some noise.. Gasol, Parker and Ginobli elderly now.. Ready for Social Security checks and the NBA pensions to kick in..

    Guys like GreekFreak have to actually rise his team up in playoffs, and not be another Dom Wilkens highlight reel.

    UR correct. But unlike RWB, he seems to have become more of a team guy. Never will be a defensive stopper, but his talent is ridiculous.
    These playoffs will be a good measuring stick for him to put up or shut up.
    Anything less than 6-7 games vs, GS, think Hou should be disappointed.

    Harden... who's a potential MVP this year...

    How does one go cold every last 3 minutes of a playoff game?

    It's quite alarming actually.

    I don't remember any NBA player like this...

    Kawhi Leonard is such an embarrassment

    I can't believe he acts this much of a pu$$y?

    What happened to the cutting coupon... I drive a used beat up 1999 Blazer to work kind of guy?

    What a complete letdown to the Spurs organization.

    I'm surprised Pop didn't give him a DIRECT... F UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUu

    I'm looking at the players right now not their career arcs. Lebron career over durant or anyone right now easy but that's not right now

    To much of Lebron legacy is carried into perception of his current state

    I factor everything in and while lebron is a better all around player than durant, it's not by that much anymore

    Durant has closed the gap and used his time with gsw to improve his weaknesses much like lebron did with Miami while still maintaining his lethal offensive game

    Looking back, in terms of overall impact he probably edged out lebron his final season in Okc before he left as best player

    WTF happened to this guy? Story is that he's ready to go, but just doesn't want to.

    I thought this guy was much > than DRose. Maybe not. Violation of contract terms, don't pay him.

    There's nothing wrong physically with kawhi, he wants out of San Antonio

    He doesn't want to go the route of duncan, ginoboli and parker

    He wants to be featured and recognized as a top 5 player in the league

    Who can blame him? He's got the goods and the last time I checked this is a capitalist country so why hate on a guy that doesn't want to practice socialism?

    Hilarious, guys touting trump and this country yet when it comes to sports the same guys expect stalin and the iron curtain

    Lots of stuff to debate here, i mean yes u did admit lebron is the better overall player but to say he was better than LeBron his last year in okc? Durant has only been in the league 4 years less than lbj, In terms of comparing the status of their current games I would argue that this year LeBron has closed the gap on the 1 area that Durant has always had the advantage - shooting
    If u take away both of their careers and just go with this year's versions LeBron still has the edge, now we both know that stats don't tell the whole story and you are aware that I am a big LeBron fan.
    Player Notes for this year It's neck and neck when it comes to scoring, but James has a slight advantage with 27.7 points per game, barely edging Durant and his mark of 26.4. James is the better facilitator, averaging 3.8 assists per game more than Durant. Their averages are close, but James grabs a few more rebounds, eclipsing Durant's total by 1.9 boards per game. Durant has the edge on 3pt percentage and blocks per game.
    Here is how i look at comparing the 2 players, Durant is just now as a warrior starting to do the intangibles that it takes to be the best whereas LeBron has been doing those things for 10 years. Durant is a great accent to an already all time championship team
    Lebron makes championship teams on his own
    Switch lbj and Durant and Cleveland does not win a chip and the warriors win 6 straight

    Lebron's stats this year:

    27.7 ppg (his highest in 8 years)
    54.3% fg%
    9.2 assists (his highest in his career)
    8.7 rebounds (his highest in his career)

    He has had a monster year, mostly because this year's Cavs have needed him to. I like what I have seen at end of games this year defensively and offensively from lbj. With the workload he has carried this year I really could see him running out of gas in the playoffs, how much can he have left in the tank?

    Perfect excuse for him. That's why he played all the games.

    Kawhi could get traded to Philly if LeBron doesn't go there but it would take a ton away from the team. At least the Lakers lottery pick if it conveys this year (or the Kings pick next year, whichever Boston doesn't get), Dario Saric, and Markelle Fultz. Sixers would have to fill out the roster with cheap vets who want a ring, ala Cavaliers style.

    Still a starting five of Embiid, Kawhi, Covington, Simmons and Redick would be pretty tough.
